[QUOTE="JustaBowla, post: 8846630, member: 689177"] I have installed an HO alternator and 2 XS power batteries under the hood. I have everything fused including the main power wire running to the main fuse block for the vehicle. This cable originally had a factory 140 amp fuse on it, so that is what I have on it as well. I have also upgraded it to 1/0 OFC like the rest of the system. The problem is this cable for the vehicle is getting hot, so hot that it is melting the HDPE fuse block and causing connection issues. This causes the vehicle to die due to this cable loosing connection. None of my other cables get hot or have this issue. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
